I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out. The crust was too hard and the filling was too runny.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more tart flavor.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I would have preferred a more solid crust.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, airier texture.

The sour cream topping really takes this cheesecake over the top. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
